HNT - TiT Outtakes 1 - Surk Marsie

If you came here hoping for the continued Darth Tater / Terror in Toyland HNT storyline, please pardon this minor diversion from the tale. The story will continue next week.

I had to take a moment and spotlight a behind the scenes look at the making of this series. I know that it's really hard to tell, but since Susie and I have never met, the magic of bringing us together for this storyline was actually created by Photoshop. Yes, yes, I know, it's hard to believe because the images are just so REAL looking.

But the truth is that it's all very carefully orchestrated special effects using photo enhancement.

To illustrate, I'm going to share a few of the outtake shots that ended up on the "cutting room floor" so to speak when my fingers slipped when trying to create those incredibly unbelieveable special effects used in this world-renowned HNT storyline.

And yes, though these photos look incredibly believable, please don't concern yourselves. There wasn't a freak accident where Susie and I exchanged heads. It was just a Photoshop slip-up.
